I am looking to try some new party food. I love peanuts or any kind of mixed nuts, as they are perfect for munching while the game is on. Over the years I have roasted peanuts countless times with many different flavoured coatings. These spicy buffalo peanuts are always a big hit and perfect for game day.
What Makes Buffalo Peanuts So Good?
- Easy to Make! Seriously, these are so simple. Toss the peanuts in the seasoning and bake. that’s pretty much all there is to it.
- Spicy – There is definitely a kick to these peanuts and it can really vary depending on the kind of hot sauce you use and the amount of cayenne you add.
- Perfect for Game day
Expert Tip! You can adjust the spice level by increasing, decreasing or even omitting the cayenne pepper based on your desired level of heat.
Ingredients You Will Need
- peanuts – raw or roasted unsalted
- butter
- salt
- hot sauce
- cayenne pepper
- garlic powder
How to Make Roasted Peanuts
- The first step in making these spicy buffalo peanuts is to create the seasoned coating that covers the peanuts. Melt the butter and mix with the hot sauce and spices. Place the peanuts in a bowl and pour the butter and hot sauce mixture over the peanuts and toss until they are all coated.
- Spread the peanuts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. The lining is helpful to keep the nuts from sticking to the baking sheet.
- Place in an oven preheated to 350F and bake for 15-20 minutes.
Expert Tip! Make sure to let the peanuts rest and cool down after they come out of the oven. They are typically a little soft right after baking and get that classic crunchy texture and toasty flavour after they have had a chance to cool down.
